About the Role
The Senior Cybersecurity Firmware Engineer is responsible for the security architecture and secure implementation of firmware running on indie’s SoCs. This role partners with firmware, hardware, and architecture teams to reduce risk, threats, and vulnerabilities, and to drive new security features into products that ship in millions of vehicles. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated engineer with strong problem-solving skills, comfortable in threat model reviews and debuggers, thrives in a collaborative team environment, and can provide technical leadership and mentorship.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and test the cybersecurity architecture of indie’s firmware
- Perform security threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) of firmware and embedded subsystems across indie’s product lines
- Convert analysis findings into written, testable security requirements, and review designs and implementations against them
- Develop and maintain embedded applications on SoCs
- Support system bring-up and debug customer systems and issues
- Respond to customer cybersecurity requirements and questionnaires, and author cybersecurity architecture documents and application notes
- Participate in code reviews and ensure compliance with automotive software quality standards, including MISRA guidelines
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
- Minimum 5 years of experience in product security, cybersecurity firmware, or cybersecurity research, including hands-on work with embedded firmware codebases
- Strong C programming and debugging skills in RTOS environments
- Familiarity with applied cryptography — secure boot, code signing, key derivation and management — together with threat modeling, common attack vectors, and mitigation techniques
- Hands-on experience with hardware security building blocks: hardware roots of trust, HSMs or crypto accelerators, secure key storage, and fuse/OTP-based provisioning in SoCs or ASICs
- Working knowledge of Python for scripting and tooling, and hands-on experience with OpenSSL
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a constantly evolving environment
- Excellent verbal and written communication, documentation, and presentation skills in English
